We are Habitat
Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) is known for its continuous efforts to pave the way for leading a brighter future for families in need.

Habitat also sends volunteers around the world to not only build a home, but also give volunteers the opportunity to experience a country like a local, with the locals. Our short-term service trips allow volunteers to meet people from around the world with all different kinds of backgrounds, races and religions. These trips allow volunteers to explore the differences in housing and lifestyle, but also discover commonalities, even they don’t speak the language.
Habitat’s Global Volunteer Engagement and Support department works to engage volunteers through the Global Village and Collegiate Challenge programs, as well as other trips opportunities. These trips, done in groups help support Habitat’s ongoing homebuilding efforts in the US and world-wide while also giving volunteers a chance to have an ongoing financial, emotional and physical contribution to a community that can be life-changing for the volunteer and the community.
